Dearest Dallas, I ask you to please talk to your heavenly Father about your thoughts on this very serious plan. I know He will speak to you and give you His will for your life. That is what we must do in every situation. I don’t begin to understand all you have been through but know it has been so hard for you. My heart hurts to hear of all the struggles and pray always that our Father in heaven will hear our plea for your healing. Also, your country makes it all too easy to end life, but they don’t comprehend how precious that life is, BUT GOD DOES. Let Him make your decision. He holds your beautiful soul in His hands, and don’t you want to please Him and continue to trust His plan as you have always done? I love you dear sis and know God is not done with you yet.

Dear Dallas,
You knew everyone would say STAY… but I’m telling you anyway!
I cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering that have led to the desperation of wanting to die. I only know that I have felt desperate to die many times.
This one time, I didn’t desire it, but thought I WOULD die… and in those harrowing moments of thinking the end was at hand, I felt incredibly guilty about my abortion again, and I was afraid to face God, knowing how unworthy I was… but I didn’t die.
Years ago, as a 15-year-old, I tried to die by swallowing pain meds. As I laid back to die, I suddenly had the thoughts that accompany truly believing the end was near: “Wait, my parents will discover my dead body, and they’d never forget that horrifying image… they don’t deserve that.” In that moment, I became desperate to survive, and I did.
My uncle completed suicide in 2017. Since I’d tried before, I imagine he felt the same regrets as he dropped from a 4th-story window.
It’s only when death is close at hand (real or imagined), that you will have your own thoughts about what’s to come. They can’t be predicted until you’re in that moment.
(Moderators, please excuse the advice I’m about to give, because we are currently dealing with a suicidal person, which is more serious than the common controversies surrounding my ideas): Have you ever tried smoking weed/eating edibles? Or even shrooms or LSD? Really… they can quickly give you a change in perspective that lasts beyond the high. You might really benefit from them and be able to continually grasp what they teach you, when you are not feeling well again. I suggest these things because of the rock and hard place you are caught between. An experience being really high might make you laugh off the idea of suicide, and stick to the newfound hope even after it wears off. Just saying, before you try suicide, try hallucinogens…
If God takes you soon, I pray it will be His will alone, not assisted suicide- the murder of a hurting and desperate person- and that you won’t be filled with regret. Maybe your story ends soon, but if not, I pray you’ll in some way find the strength to hang on until He truly calls you. Praying for you and love you, Dallas.

Facepalm myself, shake my head.
Ok will pray for her.
Yesterday I read this headline:
Pedro Almodóvar, after winning the Venice film festival’s top prize for his pro-euthanasia film ‘The Room Next Door,’ urged the global legalization of assisted suicide, calling it a ‘fundamental right’ and telling critics to remain silent.
The celebrities are helping out to promote assisted suicide.

Yeah, Canada as of I think the past two years has been big on ‘that option’.

This place has been functioning as a “church” for years. In the broader sense it has the characteristics of The Church. The care, concern, prayer and offerings of fellowship to Dallas in her dire hours exemplify this. However, this church has no attentive pastor. That’s just a stark reality no matter to what degree one might align themselves with the teachings. There’s this awkward, hopeless void where a pastor, even a degree or two above indifferent, would be very useful. How encouraging that would be to Dallas now. This predicament of disconnect between forum and ministry leadership has always been something to turn a blind eye towards. There is no expectation until there’s a desperate need and you discern that the disconnect is somehow not appropriate.
Thank you again to all the remaining who are the wings that take up the prayers and who shed the tears for all of us. It’s very special and I will leave the double accountability of the “angel” of this “church,” to The Lord. Simultaneously, I know based of God’s character and His heart that He must be very blessed at the sight of us here on this little island in cyberspace; so vivid in our imaginations of our future time with Him and so watchful to be whisked away in the rapture. Harpazo!
The geographical separation between us all, coupled with oddly limiting ourselves of external relationship building outside of our posts here, keep the important physical contact from happening. It limits the healing.
I don’t doubt Dallas’s love for The Lord regardless of her choice. I know how anxious she is to get home. Living in The South, I’ve always wondered if the hearts in Canada were as cold as the climate. Dallas promptly put that curiosity of mine away. Yet this assisted suicide option that the government there provides gives me chills. I detest it. I’m praying, and will continue to pray, that she doesn’t follow through with it, whether it be because one of her caring sisters here that can miraculously really reach her, or some local person that God just happens to cross her path at the care facility.
I’m also praying for all of you, because I know it’s upsetting you. What began as a simple login to an online forum has become a shared journey now years in the process.

The care and love here is heart warming and hopeful.
My own mother’s resolve to battle with her cancer naturally and holistically was thwarted by our medical system here in Canada. At the end she had no fight in her and consented to “treatments “ she adamantly apposed. The system wore her down in a systematic approach. It was painful to watch.
And so, I understand that our dear sister is worn out.
I’m joining in with the family here and praying that our sweet Jesus gives dear Dallas a strong and resolute heart and mind.
To Life!

Canada has been, yes. I also ponder their likely push for getting updated on all injections. I pray for Dallas’ protection; God is able.

Hi Tilly, or anyone having contact with Dallas.
If you read this in time please tell Dallas that she still has work to do for the Lord, it is obvious.
That is why it is not ok for her to check out early via her doctor.
Please tell her that God will come for her when He is good and ready.
She can pray for death to come, but she must never do anything to make it happen beyond asking the Lord.
I for one, never thought Dallas would ever put this Body of Believers in this position.
So here is an answer that I believe is from all of us.
NO!
Praying for Dallas to open her eyes.
NO means NO.
Agape,
Ken

I for one never thought I’d see a lot of the things I have seen these past few years. Satan is definitely working overtime hitting folks in their most vulnerable spots. May it be a reminder to all of us to be on guard over the weak points in our own lives as well as being an Aaron or Hur for each other when necessary.
Exodus 17
10 Joshua did as Moses had instructed him and fought against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed. 12 When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.
13 So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his army with the sword.
